Three Rivers Women’s 18-Hole Golf Club is a group of women who golf regularly on Tuesday mornings, beginning with the last Tuesday in March and continuing through October. We plan fun yet competitive, sometimes individual, sometimes team, golf outings. Our members represent a variety of golfing skills. We play the game according to the rules of golf, but an enjoyable experience is our main objective. Days of play are Tuesdays, beginning in 2020 with a Chapman format event on Tuesday, March 31st, and concluding with a scramble on October 27th.
One of the highlights of our year is sponsoring the Heritage Bank Women’s Scramble. With the help of Three Rivers Golf Course, we are able to put on a highly popular women’s tournament. A significant part of the sponsor money raised for this tournament has been given to local charities for the past several years.
Other activities offered are the Birdie Board, the chip-in pot, the Ec Board competition, the Summer Tournament, and the Club Championship.
Our members represent all skill levels, and new members are especially welcome. The club’s goals are to promote interest in golf among women and to help women develop a keener knowledge of the rules and etiquette of the game. We like to meet new people and play golf regularly.
Unless otherwise noted, the entry fee for each competition is $2. There is also an optional chip-in pot ($0.50). Players are asked to signed in by 8:15 a.m. Tee groups and times are drawn out of a hat at 8:15 a.m.
Meetings are held in the Scottie Dog Café (above the Three Rivers Pro Shop), usually on the second Tuesday of each month at 8:00 a.m., with the exceptions of this year’s first meeting on April 14th, when the meeting will be at 7:30 a.m., and the July meeting (held on June 30th) and August meeting (held on August 4th), due to tournament scheduling.
